v I y' J* The: present invention relates more particularly to a swing frame for molding machines which is used for delivering -avmold f part with a mold cavity or part ot' a mold cavity therein from the machine.

' Objects of the Vinvention are t-o improve and simplify the construction and mode oi operation of the machine.

Other objects will appear from the following description at the end of which the invention will be claimed. .A

The description will be given in-connection with the embodiment of the invention chosen for illustration inthe accompanying drawings forming part hereof and in .which- Figure 1 is an elevational view With parts in section of a swing frame embodying features of the invention withy which It cooperates, and j Fig. 2 is a top or plan View of the same with parts in section.

In the drawings 1 `and 2 indicate upright parts or standards of a frame or support of a Vmolding machine and y3 indicates the ramming or jar ramming provisions of the same. These provisions include a table 3# movable vertically. '41s a swing frame. 5 indicates hinge means between the standard- 1 land frame, and these means are constructed and arranged to permit turning and prevent sliding movement of the frame 4 in respect to the standard 1. As shown these means comprisek upper and lower arms 6 and 7 between which is arranged the hinge pintle member a, and the frame 4, or mcre'accurately, thelug 8 formed on it is connected with the pintle member. The lug 8 is disposed to one side of Y the-center line of therframe 4 so that the iframe may be swung into proper position between the standards 1 and 2. The hinge frame 4 is provided -with'brackets 9 for a purv pose to be presently described and with adjustable stops 10`and 11 of which the stop 10 serves in connection with the springg12 to position the frame as shown in Fig. 2, and of which the stopll serves, as indicated by dot- *Y ted lines in F ig. 2, in cooperation with the standard 1 to limit the swing of the frame out of the machine. There isa second frame 13 v 59 and itis arranged within the hollow portion of the swing framed so as to be supported thereby with Yfreedom for upward and downward movement Inrespect thereto when actuated by the jarring or-ramming provisionsV 3.V Afs shown the second frame 13 is seated'on the brackets 9, and when acted upon by the mechanism 3 is kept in alignment therewith by thejdowel pins14, Fig. 1.

understood to require Vdetail description, and

, adapted to receiveand vsupport a mold part.

The connection between the leveling device 15 and the'second frame 1s an vadjustable one and it is shown to consist of the clamping jaws .16 and the posts 17, device may be adjusted toward and away `from the second frame 13 to accommodate flask parts of diierent depths. The mode of operation of the described device may be explaincdas follows:

llVith the parts in the positions shown sev-v eral things, may be accomplished. A flaskV by dotted lines in Fig. 2. A flask support lupon the leveling device may be rammed by causing the table 3a to rise and engage the frame 13 and lift it clear of the frame 4.

and then upon completion of ramming and pattern drawing, the second frame 13 can be redeposited upon-the frame 4 and the latter swung into the position shown inA dotted lines in Fig. 2 for the removal of the flask. Vrlfhe leveling device is not in all cases necessary and optionally may be omitted or provided.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention relates thatfmodi- The secondy frame 13 carries a vleveling device 15,.too welll so that the levelingetY fications may be made in details of construe` tion and arrangement and matters'of mere form without departing from the spirit of the J the standard and frame constructed and ar.-
